The Donald Jeffries Show- Sirhan Sirhan with Paul Schrade and Laurie Dusek

Sirhan Sirhan Schrade Dusek

Paul Schrade:

Paul Schrade was president of United Auto Workers Local 887 during the strike of 16,000 workers in 1953. Major gains in wages and benefits were won for the first time for all aerospace workers paid far less than autoworkers in the same union. He then served four years as United Auto Workers President Walter Reuther’s administrative assistant in Detroit.

He was elected UAW’s Western states director in the 1960s, and in 1965 he joined with Cesar Chavez and Dolores Huerta in the farmworkers struggle. He helped arrange for Robert Kennedy’s two visits to Delano to support the farmworkers.

He initiated the formation of the Watts Labor Community Action Committee (WLCAC) and the East Los Angeles Community Union (TELACU in 1965. He marched with Dr. Martin Luther King in Selma and Los Angeles and with Cesar Chavez and Dolores Huerta. He joined the anti-war movement and the UAW provided draft counseling for union members and their sons.

In 1975, as one of the shooting victims, he filed lawsuits with a team of lawyers and Kennedy supporters to re-open the investigation of the fatal shooting of Robert Kennedy in the Ambassador Hotel. They confirmed that a second gunman was involved.

At 96, Schrade is actually a year older than RFK would be if he were still alive. He maintains an active interest in the case.

Laurie Dusek:

Laurie Dusek was Sirhan Sirhan’s attorney for thirteen years. Like Paul Schrade, she has worked with Kennedy family members and remains committed to Sirhan’s release.
